K-1 Dynamite!! 2009 was the last we officially saw of FEG, as I write this we are rounding out February without even the K-1 MAX Japan tournament having unfolded yet (usually this happens in late February). FEG's schedule in Japan for March and April is absolutely breakneck now, as starting on March 22nd, FEG will hold around one show a week for the next three weeks! Two and a half months of inactivity will be followed up with cramming in as many shows as possible into a three week span.
DREAM.13
Things kick off for FEG in Japan on the 22nd with DREAM.13 from the Yokohama Arena, and of course in typical FEG fashion, not much is known about the card other than the DREAM Featherweight Championship being defended, as Bibiano Fernandes takes on the former DREAM Lightweight Champion, Joachim "Hellboy" Hansen. Murilo "Ninja" Rua, Eddie Alvarez, Ryo Chonan, Katsunori Kikuno, Minowaman, Andrews Nakahara, Hideo Tokoro and Marius Zaromskis are all slated to appear, with the rumor being Zaromskis defending the DREAM Welterweight Championship against Kiyoshi Tamura.

World MAX Japan
Next up on the 27th, the K-1 World MAX Japan tournament is set in the Super Saitama Community Arena, and unlike the other shows, this one has a fight card! Tournament brackets are set up and with fighters like Taishin Kohiruimaki, Yuya Yamamoto, Yuichiro Nagashima, Yasuhiro Kido and HINATA. This show also features the rise of the 63kgs division, featuring Takehiro Murahama, Kazuhisa Watanabe and DJ Taiki. The main event of the show will be 2009 World MAX Champion Giorgio Petrosyan against Yoshihiro Sato.

World Grand Prix in Yokohama
K-1 circles back to the Yokohama arena on April 3rd for the K-1 World Grand Prix in Yokohama. No fights have been announced for this show yet, but their first offering in Japan will look to be a strong one, with of course the rumor that Alistair Overeem will fight one more K-1 fight and that this will be the show.
